Chapter 33

 I walk inside the gate of the school, hoping this day would go by quickly so I can just get whatever amount of homework I have done and spend the rest either taking a nap at home or talking to Chris on the phone... I'm probably going to do both.

It's freaking Monday.

Oh, how I love Mondays *que the eye roll*.

I still don't understand who thought Monday was a great day to make like why couldn't they just make two Sundays? or maybe two Saturdays that way we have a  longer weekend... but nope they want us to suffer and start our week off on a Monday. Those jerks.

I start rushing to class as I got here later than I usually do- like a lot later- I woke up late today but to be fair I stayed an extra day at Chris' and didn't get home till almost dinner time and had to help my youngest brother finish a project he had for school so I ended up going to sleep at like twelve or one o'clock in morning and my alarm goes off at six so I only got five hours of sleep and if you know me, you know that I love my sleep.

I fortunately succeed in getting in class and to my seat right before the bell rang, letting out a breath I didn't realize I was holding and got ready for class and the rest of the day hoping it goes smoothly as I realize Hannah wasn't here and felt Justin's eyes on me from the row on the left side of my seat.

It's finally lunch and I couldn't be more happier on how the day has been and even more happier as I only got one last class for the day and then I can head home and relax as I was able to finish my assignments I had for Economics and AP Literature in my fourth period class and thankfully didn't have any homework for my other classes.

I decided to go out and get lunch this time instead of getting lunch from the school (cause we all know the food is not that great) so I drove to Jack in the Box, got my curly fries, burger and drink and headed back just in time before the bell rang and thankfully my AVID teacher is pretty lenient on the whole 'food in the classroom' rule so I get to eat my food peacefully in my favorite class of the day.

I was busy enjoying my food and staring off into space when I realized that we only had two minutes left of class and everyone was already packing up to leave.

Man, I really got to stop zoning out.

I quickly place my binder, notebook and pencil holder in my bag and gather the trash from my meal and place it in the bag, happy I still had some curly fries to snack on the way home since I may or may not have ordered two medium size fries to go...

I got up along with my table group and walked out the door as the screeching of the bell went off. Finally home, I thankfully don't have to pick up Joey and Chris since they get out later around the time my mom gets off work so she is the one who usually picks them up. 

Pulling up to my house I notice Chris' Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 in the driveway and couldn't help but feel extra giddy to be home. I race out the car not bothering to grab my bag from the passenger seat as I didn't need it, and jumped in the meatballs arms as he stood in front of the door.

I felt him chuckling at my excitement, pulling me closer to him (if that was possible) as he fixed his hold so he can support me more in the hug, I eventually pulled away and was set down on the ground to unlock the door and let us both in the house. 

"I didn't know you were coming." I told him, as I sit on the island.

"I know, I wanted to surprise you today." he admits, smiling at me as he moves to stand in between my legs.

I just hum at his responds as I lean against him as I start to feel the exhaustion kick in my body, I closed my eyes as I fell him wrap his arms around my small frame and just let my body relax against his, wrapping my arms around his neck to support myself from falling back or sideways.

I open my eyes a while later but only seeing blurry objects moving past  and recognized the feeling as Chris walking through the house with me in his arms then decided to go back to sleep. 

I feel my body start to wake from my sleep as I start to feel the comfort of my bed underneath me and the warmth of something against me, not wanting to get up yet I just lay there and wait for my vision to become clear again.

I thankfully didn't have to wait that long as I opened my eyes again and saw the mirror hanging on the across from my bed, I sat up noticing how more colder my bed felt and noticed an indent on the sheets beside me indicating that someone had laid there with me.

I hop off my bed and start heading to the kitchen when I realized there are people talking and being the nosy human I am, I decided to investigate and find out who was talking. I slowly made my way to the kitchen as I still felt the affects of the nap, I was at the entrance of the kitchen when I noticed Chris sitting at the table while my mom is making dinner.

"Well good morning sleeping beauty." my mom comments when she finally notices me. 

I just nod at her with a small 'hello' and walk over to Chris and lean into his side as he held his arms open for me, to which they just chuckle at my action. 

"You guys are just too cute," my mom gushes, as she moves the ladle around in the pot. I just hum and snuggle closer into Chris who just rubs my back, laying his head against mine. 

"What are ya making ma?" I ask, curiosity getting the best of me plus it was starting to smell good in the kitchen too. 

"I am going to make meat loaf," she informed, smiling over at us.

"That sounds great," I comment with Chris nodding his head in agreement.

"You gonna stay for dinner?" I asked him, standing up straighter but still leaning against him.

"Yeah of course," he smiles at me.

If only this week could get any better, I thought to myself.

If only I knew what was coming I would have laughed at how I just jinxed myself...
